When it comes to keeping long term goals I always seem to come up short. After ending my Boy Scout carrier of over ten years without my Eagle Scout badge I realized how unaccountable for goals I am. The whole idea behind Scouting is to turn a kid into a man by making him more responsible. In the boy scouts you are pushed to learn respect towards god, the outdoors, and your common man. You take part in many community service projects which helps understand the importance of responsibly. Somewhere along the line I slipped. When it came time to finish my eagle by organizing my own service project I refused to take control. I tried to leave the accountability to my parents. Scouting was something my father had always pushed me threw and so I always figured he would be there to push me threw the end. However he realized that to become an Eagle it was something I had to do on my own. Finally my eighteenth birthday came upon me and the possibility of becoming an eagle scout vanished. Something that I had put many hours into was now a waste of time. Hopefully this will provide as a lesson for me. Hopefully the scouting failure provided as an eye opener so now I can become a more accountable person. Now the prospect of college is hear and again it is up to me to decide if I will slack off or take control, because no one else will for me. .
